An extraordinary opportunity to acquire one of Lake Forest’s finest properties – a 6,673-square-foot residence set on nearly two private acres, offering six bedrooms, five full and three half baths, and an exceptional array of luxury appointments throughout. Built in 2001 and thoughtfully updated, the home opens to a dramatic two-story foyer with limestone floors, setting the tone for the refined interiors within. Refinished oak hardwoods, coffered ceilings, two fireplaces and custom millwork speak to the quality of craftsmanship found at every turn. The recently remodeled kitchen features premium appliances, a generous center island, a beautiful butler’s pantry, and a bright breakfast room – opening to the gracious, light-filled family room with fireplace and surround sound. A four-seasons sunroom extends the living space year-round, while the private library and theatre room offer quiet spaces for work and entertainment alike. The primary suite is a true sanctuary with a luxurious bath and two custom walk-in-closets, complemented by four additional bedrooms and three baths, each designed with comfort and privacy in mind. The lower level is a true retreat with custom theater room, wet bar, recreation area, bedroom and one and a half baths. Step outside and the nearly two-acre professionally landscaped grounds offer privacy, serenity and a spa-quality hot tub, custom brick patio and fire pit. Practical luxury extends to the attached heated four-car garage with brick-paved drive, zoned HVAC, and a full security and sound system infrastructure. Don’t miss this meticulously maintained home in the highly acclaimed Lake Forest schools, conveniently located just minutes from the Metra, premier shopping and dining that define North Shore living.
